SCOTT SLANT: This team is not mailing it in
Presented by BACON. Tuesday, March 12, 2019. At some point, Boise State coach Leon Rice has to get some credit for keeping his team together. The Broncos, of course, have lost nine games by one possession or in overtime this season. Were it not for their intestinal fortitude, they wouldn’t have lost by just one…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Taking tenacity to Thomas & Mack
Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Monday, March 11, 2019. Boise State is nothing if not resilient. The team that had lost six straight games, most of them in agonizing fashion, pulled itself up by the bootstraps for an 80-52 rout of Air Force Saturday night in Taco Bell Arena. The Broncos picked up a dose…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Can Senior Night stop the slide?
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Friday, March 8, 2019. Boise State men’s basketball is set for the first 20-loss season in its history. The Broncos just don’t want to get there on Senior Night. They host Air Force Saturday, trying to snap a six-game losing streak—and a two-game skid in Taco Bell Arena. They lost to…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: What a way to go
Presented by VETERANS PLUMBING. Thursday, March 7, 2019. So it happens again. Boise State just could not make a play at the end, and it suffered its sixth consecutive loss Wednesday night, 73-72 at New Mexico. And there’s this tired old stat: the Broncos are now 1-9 this season in one possession games at the…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Broncos need contributions from this duo
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Wednesday, March 6, 2019. There have been so many peaks and valleys this season from Zach Haney and RJ Williams, it’s been hard for the Boise State staff to know what to expect. Both players are coming off peaks, though, and the Broncos could use a two-game streak from those two…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: The nets have been cut
Presented by VETERANS PLUMBING. Tuesday, March 5, 2019. It was a landmark night in Taco Bell Arena. The Boise State women’s basketball program is legitimately elite in the Mountain West. The Broncos held off New Mexico 70-66 Monday night to clinch the conference regular season title and the No. 1 seed in the Mountain West…… MORE
The Boise State hoops season in a nutshell
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Monday, March 4, 2019. Did Boise State players go into “here we go again” mode Saturday night at UNLV? The Broncos led by as many as 14 points in the first half and 11 in the second, but the Rebels stormed back to take the lead each time. Boise State had…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Spring football has sprung
Presented by BACON. Friday, March 1, 2019. There are the obvious battles (quarterback and running back) and the not-so-obvious (linebacker) as Boise State spring football kicks off this morning. You probably know the basics at QB and running back, so let’s look at the ‘backers. Even with Tyson Maeva having been dismissed from the team,…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: No threes, no free throws, no dice
Presented by VETERANS PLUMBING. Thursday, February 28, 2019. Let’s get the slop out of the way off the top. The hoop must look like a thimble to Boise State the way it shot in Taco Bell Arena last night in a 76-62 loss to Colorado State. The Broncos made just five of 27 three-point attempts…… MORE
